This was not the first time that Duke Oren came to see Yun Luo. Every time he came before, it was just to express his love as a father to his children. Of course, Yun Luo did not want to confirm how much falsehood was mixed in this love.
Yun Luo has been waiting for the day when Duke Oren will reveal his true purpose.
The people he brought with him have found many clues, but there is no definite result about Duke Oren's attempt to let him come back this time. All they know now is that Duke Oren intends to arrange a marriage for him, but the marriage partner and the benefits Duke Oren can get from it have not been found out.
Yun Luo was not anxious about this. Duke Oren tried every possible means to bring him back to the Imperial Star. He must have an intention. Since he had an intention, he would carry it out sooner or later.
After being back for so long, Duke Oren didn't show any clues. He treated Yun Luo like a real father who wanted to make up for his past mistakes. Yun Luo just watched coldly and didn't believe a word Duke Oren said.
After Duke Oren finished speaking, he paid attention to Yun Luo's expression. He knew that his son had undergone earth-shaking changes during the time he was away. He was taking gradual steps to achieve his ultimate goal.
"How's it been living at home lately? Is there anything you're not used to?"
Yun Luo shook his head.
Seeing that Yun Luo didn't want to talk to him more, Duke Oren just thought that the child was still blaming him, so he rambled on with some caring words before getting to the point.
"It's been a while since you came back, and you haven't seen many people. Get ready. I'll take you out in a couple of days to meet some people."
Taking Yun Luo's silence as consent, Duke Oren said nothing more and left after achieving his goal.
The butler followed Duke Oren silently, feeling uneasy for some reason.
He said he would take Yunluo to a banquet, and the next day someone came to make clothes for Yunluo.
Although the Duchess was under house arrest, any movement in the mansion could not escape her eyes. She was the first to know that Duke Oren wanted to take Yun Luo to the banquet and hold a banquet for Yun Luo.
"I told you at the beginning that this evil creature shouldn't be allowed to survive!" The Duchess slammed the table with a vicious look in her eyes.
Duke Oren did not hide his actions from anyone, and Hill soon got the news. The first thing he did after receiving the news was to go to the yard where the Duchess was confined.
"Mother, you told me to leave it alone, but now look what you're doing! If this continues, the entire Oren family will be his!"
Hill was furious. Ever since Yun Luo returned to the Imperial Star, he had encountered more and more bad things. Holmes was now avoiding him. Those who had originally obeyed his words no longer listened to him for some reason. Not only that, they also began to question him.
As far as he could remember, Hill had never suffered such injustice. All of this was Yun Luo's fault!
If Yun Luo hadn't appeared, how could those people suddenly change their attitude, especially Holmes, who acted as if he wanted to make amends to Yun Luo. Who was he doing this for? Hill had a heart attack every time he saw it.
The Duchess was also very troubled. Yun Luo had indeed not done anything during the time he returned to the Imperial Star, and he looked the same as before. But the Duchess knew that the Yun Luo who had returned now was completely different from the Yun Luo who had been at their mercy in the past.
"We underestimated him after all." The Duchess originally thought that Yun Luo did those things just to regain the attention of Duke Oren. Now, thinking about it, their guess was wrong from the beginning. What Yun Luo wanted was not what they guessed from the beginning to the end.
"Mother, what should we do now?" Hill asked, biting his lower lip.
He wanted everything to return to normal. He didn't want to live like this anymore. If they had known that a trip to Somir Star would cause such a big change in Yun Luo, they should not have sent him there in the first place.
Hill couldn't understand how a person who was so timid and bullied before leaving could change so much in just a few months. He was like a completely different person.
Hill was not the only one who had this suspicion. The Duchess and Duke Oren had similar suspicions. They also asked people to verify that Yun Luo was Yun Luo and there was no such thing as being replaced by someone else.
"Let me think about it." The Duchess didn't have any particularly good ideas about how to deal with Yun Luo. Duke Oren was watching her closely, so she couldn't do anything. Moreover, she was under house arrest, and her behavior was greatly restricted...
"You said before that the Duke was going to hold a banquet for Yunluo?" The Duchess asked, suddenly remembering something.
Although he didn't know why his mother suddenly asked this, Hill nodded. This was what made him most indignant. What did holding a banquet represent? It represented that Yun Luo was a child that Duke Oren cared about, and a female that was valued in the family. After the banquet, everyone would know that Duke Oren had taken a fancy to Yun Luo.
What about him?
Who is he?
The character he had worked so hard to build seemed to have become a joke. Everyone would compare him with Yun Luo. They would infinitely praise Yun Luo because of Duke Oren's attitude, while he could only become a foil.
Thinking of that scene, Hill shuddered. No, he absolutely didn't want that!
The Duchess saw through Hill's thoughts immediately. This was her son, and she knew exactly what he was thinking. Fearing that Hill might ruin things in his impulsiveness, the Duchess said in a deep voice, "Remember what I told you before. When that thing is done, you can do whatever you want to Yunluo. Before that, you must remain patient."
Hill knew that he should listen to his mother, but he just couldn't swallow his breath. He felt unhappy when he thought that Yun Luo would climb over his head.
Worried that Hill might act impulsively, the Duchess carefully instructed Hill on every detail. No matter what Hill thought in his heart, at least he appeared obedient on the surface.
After Hill left, the Duchess called her personal maid and whispered some instructions.
Yun Luo did not take Duke Oren's words to heart, but the mansion took action early because of Duke Oren's orders. Wherever Yun Luo went, he could find that the servants were much more active than before.
A few days later, the new clothes that Duke Oren ordered to be made for Yun Luo were delivered. Under the special instructions of the housekeeper, no one dared to neglect Yun Luo. The clothes delivered this time were exquisite in style and high in quality.
Yun Luo took a look and asked someone to put the clothes away.
The banquet that Duke Oren wanted to take Yun Luo to was hosted by a recently rising family on the Imperial Star. Yun Luo looked at the invitation brought by the servants, a faint smile appearing at the corners of his lips.
If Yun Luo remembered correctly, this family would become a strong backing behind the protagonist in the future. Originally, the protagonist was the only one attending the banquet. However, at the banquet, the young leader of the family fell in love with the protagonist at first sight. Regardless of his existing wife, he launched a mad pursuit of the protagonist...
Yun Luo recalled the original plot and suddenly became interested. He really wanted to see how the protagonist could bewitch these people so much.
The day of the banquet soon arrived, and Yun Luo was asked to turn back by the housekeeper halfway through his journey.
"Master, why aren't you wearing the new clothes the Duke sent you last time? Are you...going to the banquet like this?"
Yun Luo looked at the clothes he was wearing, which seemed a bit too simple. After repeated persuasion from the housekeeper, he had no choice but to go back and change into a gorgeous set of clothes.
The clothes were personally selected by the butler. They were one of the new clothes made last time. It seemed that Duke Oren knew that he would need them one day.
Yun Luo changed his clothes and followed the butler to meet Duke Oren.
When Yun Luo arrived, Duke Oren was already prepared: "Xiao Luo, come here."
Yun Luo walked over: "Let's go now?"
"Wait for your brother. I don't know what's wrong with this kid. He hasn't come in a while."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hill arrived. Seeing Yun Luo standing next to Duke Oren, his expression changed slightly.
"Father, brother."
"Okay, now that we're here, let's go."
All the way to the banquet venue, the car was very quiet except for Duke Oren's occasional words.
When getting off the car, Hill suddenly said: “Brother, you are not familiar with the banquet, you can come to me if you have anything.”
Yun Luo stared at Xi'er for a while, until Xi'er's scalp tingled, then he raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay."
For some reason, Hill felt a deep sense of unease in his heart. He felt that he should not speak.
